120 GOOD MORNING, HOLY SPIRIT
"He's Here!"
There is no substitute for the filling of the Spirit that
comes as a direct result of your prayer life. It is the power
that will affect everything you do.
Recently I was invited to speak in Colombia, South
America. It was a three-day crusade, and on the evening of
the second day, Wednesday, I was speaking on the Holy
Spirit. In the middle of my message I felt the power of the
Holy Spirit move over the service. I felt His presence,
stopped preaching, and told the people, "He's here!"
Ministers on the platform and people in the audience felt
the same thing—it was like a gust of wind that entered and
swirled inside that place.
People stood to their feet in a spontaneous outburst of
praise. But they didn't stand long. All over, people began to
collapse and fall to the floor under the power of the Holy
Ghost. They were "slain" in the Spirit.
What happened next was exactly what I have seen
repeated in services all over the world. People began to
receive Christ as their personal Savior, and healings began
to take place across the auditorium.
When I speak about the Holy Spirit an unusual
anointing follows the teaching. Always. There is an
incredible manifestation of God's presence—very different
from at any other time. The miracles seem to be more
intense. A greater number of people are saved than in other
meetings. The touch of God on people's lives is more
pronounced.
In those services the altar calls seem to be so easy.
There's no begging or pleading. Instantly, people flock to
the front for salvation. Just as the Lord promised, the Spirit
draws people to Christ.
